Jared Crick

Crick has made the transition from college inside lineman to professional defensive end. And now he'll compete for the starting end position opposite J.J. Watt, though we anticipate changing personnel...

Crick appeared in 15 games and played 20 percent of Houston's total defensive snaps. A fourth-round pick in 2012 out of Nebraska, Crick received a lesson in push-rushing, playing behind J.J. Watt and Antonio Smith. He's worked this offseason on developing pass-rushing moves that work for him. He'll fill a similar role in 2013.

The Texans are looking for Crick to play inside at tackle, though he has experience all over the defensive line.
